GGT → MIA
Which side of the plane to sit from Exuma International Airport (Great Exuma) to Miami International Airport (Miami)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers an unparalleled view of the winding Exuma Cays chain shortly after takeoff and typically provides a stunning aerial panorama of the Miami Beach coastline and downtown skyline during the final approach.
Staniel Cay
Bird's-eye view of the famous hub of the northern Exumas and surrounding sapphire channels.
Norman's Cay
Spot the turquoise waters surrounding this historic cay, once a notorious transit point.
Exuma Cays Land and Sea Park
Miles of pristine, protected coral reefs and uninhabited white-sand cays.
Miami Skyline
Spectacular views of South Beach, the Port of Miami, and the downtown skyscrapers during descent.
The right side is essential for seeing the iconic chain of Cays. On approach to MIA, aircraft usually fly south along the coast or enter from the east, offering the best views of the Atlantic beaches and the city's urban layout. Choose a seat forward of the wing for the most clear photography.
Great Bahama Bank
Vast, swirling patterns of turquoise and white sand visible immediately after departure.
Stocking Island
A clear view of the long, narrow barrier island protecting Elizabeth Harbour.
Andros Island
The wild, western mangrove flats and intricate creek systems of the largest Bahamian island.
The Everglades
The vast 'River of Grass' wetlands visible if the flight pattern loops west of Miami.
Sit on the left for the best views of the Great Bahama Bank's shallow-water textures. This side is preferred for mid-day flights to minimize sun glare while capturing the vibrant neon-blue hues of the shallows.
